THEATRE GAMES: TRUST EXERCISES

A game designed to create a comfortable environment and a creative improvised outlet for participants to bond.

So, what do people say when they visit the grave?  Do they water the grave?

This game can go on for hours as groups begin to trust and enjoy the process of working as an ensemble.  In theory, it is like one large mirror activity, however, coach should encourage movement and vocal involvement in the exercise.  The purpose is not to mirror perfectly, but to move, breath and begin to think as one connected ensemble.  Best for creating a sense of unity and a wonderful physical warm-up.  I learned this one at the National Theatre of Great Britain while attending a post-graduate actor training program.
